You have been appointed as the new planning officer at
a district assembly. The DCE has asked you to produce a five page
report(reference if possible) outlining the environmental services
that would be required in a small town with population of 6000 for
the next 10 years.
1. List and explain at least 6 environmental services (or
infrastructure) that you would recommend for the settlement
a. Just the environmental implications or contribution of each of
these services that you have outlined to the overall development of
that small town
b. Explain the methods you are likely to use to arrive at the
projected population and how you will carry out your needs
assessment

Ribavirin is an antiviral drug commonly used to treat viral
infections such as hepatitis C and the highly lethal Hantavirus,
Ebola, and Marburg infections. During the SARS outbreak in 2003, it
was also tested in SARS-CoV patients. Ribavirin is a nucleoside
inhibitor, or more specifically a ribosyl purine analog. Based on
the biochemical principle of the drug alone, would you think
ribavirin would be useful to treat dengue and herpesvirus
infections?

What would be the metabolic effects of liver failure? Describe
in detail. Discuss the pathways which will be affected and the
effects on other organs of the body. Remember the many functions of
the liver. (15)
Identify the many functions and pathways in the liver which will
now be deficient. Both central metabolism and those of consequence
to other tissues (5 pts).
(type answer here)
Identify materials/chemicals used by other organs/tissues which would be deficient, effects on the pathways of these other tissues and accumulation of toxins in the other tissues as a result of the liver biochemistry failure (5 pts).
(type answer here)
Overall effects on the other organs and tissues of the body (not the liver). Explain what liver failure will do to the body, what tissues most affected and pathways most affected. Answer in light of the big picture and reactions and pathways in other tissues/organs outside of the liver.

A) Imagine that you found a white colony on a LB plate (containing Ampicillin, X-gal, and arabinose) that did not fluoresce green E. coli. Propose a hypothesis for how this could have occured.
B) How could you test your hypothesis using techniques and equipment in a lab.

Show cross.
Man’s Mother genotype: Woman’s parents genotypes:
Man’s genotype: X Woman’s genotype:
Offsprings genotype:
Offsprings phenotype ( blood type):
